The Porsche Cayenne is due for a heavy update for the 2024 model year. Porsche today revealed the first glimpse of what its midsize SUV will look like in its next evolution.
And an evolution it is. The 2024 Cayenne will not be an all-new design. Porsche has already been dropping hints about its plans for the next Cayenne, probably due in 2025 or 2026. That version will be all-electric.
First, though, we’ll get an updated version of today’s pepper.
The photo Porsche sent journalists today shows just part of the hood and grille. It features reshaped headlights, wider from side to side but narrower from top to bottom, than what you see on the 2023 version. They used four-section headlamps like those found on the Taycan.
If they are the Taycan’s headlamps, they’re Porsche’s advanced adaptive matrix LEDs, which can adapt their brightness to avoid blinding oncoming traffic.
They sit above a grille sectioned by body-color vertical bars, with daytime running lights integrated into the grille at the high-outside corners.
Last month, Porsche previewed the Cayenne’s cabin. It replaced the traditional driver’s display gauges with a curved screen that drivers could configure to display… you guessed it… a digital image of the traditional gauges. It also showed an optional screen for the passenger because riding in a Porsche is less entertaining than driving one.
The car will be revealed in full on tax day, April 18, in some sort of cosmic joke intended to remind you that you can’t afford one, we assume. We’ll bring mechanical details then.
